Biometrics invitation letter delayed

[usman81]

Is anyone who applied mid or end of april still waiting for his/her biometrics invitaion letter? It seems that HO can't handle the situation as many appear to have not received it yet.

I emailed them at nationalitybiometrics@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk 10 days ago but no reply. Any other option i could try?

Thank you

UPDATE I phoned them again and first time without any questions advisor admitted that I should have received biometric invitation letter by now for case submitted on april 20. He referred this again to HO caseworker team to call me within next 2 working days. I told him first reference was entered last tuesday to be followed up by call from HO in next 3 working days but never received any.

Utterly mismanaged department and worst service for that much of a fee!

Hi, I have submitted an application on 05/05/2015 but still no acknowledgement letter neither bio metric, I am going on holiday that's the worry so I rang them they said just wait and gave the same email address to email but no reply. Usman can you please update, has some body rang you? what they said? etc.

Thanks

No biometrics, no call yet and i don't expect them to call me either.

I applied on 31st March 2015 and received only an acknowledgement letter. I rang HO the other day and the lady told me that she can't help as 6 months processing time is not over yet, anyway she took my details that someone will call you in 3 working days. Lets see what happens next... but so far no call

Yes the trend is very inconsistent some people receive biometric letters before than others even they applied later.

Gents - just received biometric invitation letter finally. It reads 15 working days so i was never sent first letter otherwise they would have given 10 working days.

when did HO receive your application if it is received by them before 6th april then you wont get the biometric letter.
